Tom Holland has received a lot of praise from the executives of Marvel:

For Spidey himself, we saw many terrific young actors, but Tom’s screen tests were special. All in all, we are off to a roaring start.

— Kevin Fiege

Sony, Marvel, Kevin and I all knew that for Peter Parker, we had to find a vibrant, talented young actor capable of embodying one of the most well-known characters in the world. With Tom, we’ve found the perfect actor to bring Spider-Man’s story into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

— Amy Pascal

There is a chance that Spidey will appear in 'Captain America: Civil War', but the role may not be a major one because the production has already started. But, this is Marvel and anything could happen. Spider-man will have his own movie in July of 2017.
